    Tips

    A dramatic, massive and steep-sided hollow ringed by four hills, The Devil's Beef Tub is a must for hikers exploring the Moffat Hills. Just like Glencoe's Lost Valley, it was a handy place to hide cattle. The Johnstone reivers – known as the 'devils' – did just that, leading to this landmarks eyebrow raising name. In 1685, escapee Covenater John Hunter tried to outwit pursuing dragoons but was shot dead. His monument adorns the viewpoint.

      From the parking lot you can hike on a good path around the "crater". Many other hiking trails leave from here, for example Annandale Weg
